Chapter 12 Are they...discussing Tao? (Two in one, please read and vote for the month~)
Du Kang was not a local, so he paid the entrance fee before he could continue walking inside.
After passing through the gate, there was the theater. Du Kang just glanced at it with an appraising gaze, without stopping, and then passed through the theater, the courtyard, the square... He tried to find from the scene in front of him what might have existed many years ago.
The half shadow left by something.
In the end, of course, no similarities were found.
Time brings everything and takes away everything. In some places, one year is enough for a small mountain village to turn into a modern urban high-rise building asphalt road, not to mention the Wusheng Palace that has been rebuilt or protected for countless times.
.
"It was expected..." Du Kang thought to himself, looking at the last and most important destination of the Martial Saint Palace, the main hall of the Martial Saint Palace.
At first glance, I didn’t think it was anything particularly spectacular. It was just a building decorated with no trace of ancient flavor... To be honest, it was the incense stalls on both sides of the hall that attracted Du Kang’s attention even more—
—
There are two people managing each stall. They look like they are the "official staff" of the stall. There is a sign next to the stall, which reads: "Three sticks of incense worth 100 yuan. Take-out is not accepted. Cash/Xinbao/Weiwei are accepted."
Letter/swipe card].
Du Kang: "..."
Hey guys, why don't you just go to the bank and grab the money?
It was just a sigh of relief. Du Kang was not too surprised. He had seen similar things on marketing accounts many times, but it was just the first time he saw it offline. It was no big deal.
Then Du Kang was robbed of one hundred yuan.
"We're all here, no matter if it's true or not, at least let's burn some incense..." Du Kang, who was holding three sticks of incense, thought to himself. If so, he might find a chance to dig up the floor here. It's true.
If it's not a sin, just think of it as disrespectful for having such thoughts in your heart, and just use this incense to make amends.
Bright lights, pure music with a classical charm are played through hidden small speakers, futons for people to kneel down, and on the incense table, which can almost be called a tripod, the incense burner filled with incense is floating wisps and then gathering into
The puff of smoke...everything was so strange to Du Kang.
Among this strangeness, there is even the statue of Guan Gong standing with a sword - the statue of Guan Gong looks golden under the light, as if the whole thing is wrapped in a layer of gold.
Du Kang stared at the upright statue of Guan Gong, and found a hint of familiarity in the strangeness - if he saw it correctly, the height of this statue of Guan Gong was very similar to the one he saw when he was on duty, and his expression was exactly the same.
.
"Is that you?" Du Kang murmured silently.
The statue of Guan Gong wearing a "golden body" naturally would not respond to Du Kang.
There weren't many people offering incense, and they probably didn't want to be taken advantage of by being robbed of a hundred yuan. Most people were just wandering around, and some were taking photos or something, so naturally there were no temple blessings or any staff to give guidance.
When putting on incense, the incense sticks in the incense burner even look a little tangled and messy.
Du Kang looked at the golden statue of Guan Gong and thought about what Guan Gong said when he was on duty. He was in a daze for a while. After a while, he came back to his senses, walked forward and started to burn incense.
As a responsible tentacle monster-level online novel author, I dare not say anything else. I must have dabbled in various aspects of knowledge. After all, if you don’t know where to write, you have to look up some information. Over time, your knowledge will become wider and wider.
It's getting wider, it's just the depth...it depends on personal interests and hobbies.
Du Kang actually had no interest in religious beliefs or anything like that. His understanding of this came entirely from the information he looked up when he was writing a novel about Taoist priests. He still can’t remember it clearly. It mainly came from last night when he went to cover for work.
Bai Lao demonstrated it to him once and then he just remembered it.
Hold the incense foot in your left hand, tilt the incense head down to light it, insert the first incense stick in the middle, then the right side, and the left side with your left hand. The three incense sticks stand straight and straight, with no more than an inch between two adjacent ones.
After finishing the incense, Du Kanggong stood in obeisance to the statue of Guan Gong. Looking at the golden statue of Guan Gong in front of him, the familiar yet unfamiliar feeling became more and more strange.
"Besides digging the floor, is there any other way to prove it?" Du Kang was not in a hurry and stepped aside, pondering this question in his mind.
I came here, but I was "robbed" of a hundred yuan. It would be a big loss just to leave like this.
Du Kang's eyes moved up and down the statue of Guan Gong, erratic, and suddenly stopped on the blade of the "golden" Dragon Yanyue Sword.
"Guan Gong's "Spring and Autumn Sword Techniques" should be able to attract Guan Gong, right? What if this Guan Gong statue can indeed attract Guan Gong's attention?" Du Kang guessed.
During the four hours on the high-speed train, Du Kang had been practicing the first form of the "Spring and Autumn Sword Technique" taught by Guan Gong - killing evil. Well, it was said to be practice, but in fact it was more about watching and guessing, because Du Kang didn't know how to do it at all.
He knows how to practice... and he doesn't have a Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, so he can't practice in vain!
But under such circumstances, Du Kang discovered that at some point, half of a blade appeared in his Dantian. It seemed to be the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. It seemed that he could use it with his thoughts - could this set of sword skills be practiced?
Is it so simple, just look at it?
Or do you mean that you are gifted?
Du Kang is not sure, but now that he has such an idea, Du Kang can't help but want to try it. If he uses the half of the blade directly, or continues to "practice" the [evil-killing style] here, will it be possible?
Will it be effective?
Thinking like this, Du Kang tried to control the small half of the blade in his dantian to move, but after just a moment of movement, the blade was actively controlled by him to stop, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.
Because, with just that move, Du Kang had a feeling. In the dark, he seemed to feel that the small half of his practiced blade was connected with something in the statue of Guan Gong in front of him, and they were from the same source.
, it should be beneficial... but it happens to be isolated by that layer of "golden body". If the blade is completely separated from the body, then the thing will definitely be attracted out, and the golden body will definitely be broken.
With so many people still here, Du Kang can't even imagine what the scene will be like!
Therefore, this matter must be planned in the long term, and a way must be found to wait until no one is around to lure out the unknown "thing"... Du Kang suppressed his excitement.
To put it mildly, who can be indifferent to a treasure chest that can be opened easily?
Du Kang once again looked at the statue of Guan Gong in front of him. This time his eyes looked as if he saw a treasure waiting for him to get it, but the process of getting the treasure was a little bit problematic.
"This golden body really doesn't look good. It's better to peel it off..." After looking at it for a while, Du Kang couldn't help but sigh.
"Hello, little friend." A voice sounded very gentle and kind.
Du Kang looked back and saw an old man standing behind him who was wearing a Taoist robe. His beard and hair were all white, but his skin was unexpectedly rosy. He didn't even see any wrinkles. His age spots were even more invisible. The contrast between his beard and hair and his skin made him stunned.
He seems to be a bit of a celestial being, but judging from his appearance, there would be no problem in starring in some TV series as a wise man.
However, in Du Kang's view, the impression given to him by this immortal Taoist priest was completely different from his appearance. It was a feeling that made Du Kang very uncomfortable. Du Kang could even smell something vaguely.
The smell was something he had never smelled before, and couldn't name it, but it was just a very bad smell.
This guy is not a good person!
Of course, what made Du Kang finally make this judgment was not the sudden feeling or the inexplicable smell, but the vibration of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword blade that came from the Dantian, a small half of which was transformed by his spiritual energy.
The amplitude and frequency of that kind of vibration even made Du Kang feel that the blade was filled with excitement, so excited that if he hadn't held it back, the small half of the blade would have jumped out and started slashing people!
Du Kang will definitely not ignore this extremely obvious warning. This is what he observed... and worked hard to practice [Evil-Slaying Style] to form the Qinglong Yanyue Sword blade, which is specially designed for killing evil!
In this case, there is no need to say more about the composition of the Taoist priest in front of him. He should be of a level where it would be advantageous to pull him directly and shoot him.
After Du Kang quickly made this judgment, he was not too nervous.
This is Wu Sheng Palace, Guandi Temple! The advantage of home field combat, let alone a villain who doesn’t know what he has done, Du Kang, the Thousand Year Demon King, the Thousand Year Ghost King, dares to fight with it... He dares to hug it immediately
Guan Gong’s thighs!
"Who are you?" Du Kang frowned slightly and asked.
"Pindao is the abbot here." the abbot said.
"I see... What does the abbot want to see me for?"
"The poor Taoist divined and calculated that a destined person would come here tonight, so I waited here in advance." The abbot Taoist smiled kindly, and there was a trace of undetectable greed in Du Kang's eyes.
"...Taoist priests pay attention to the natural way of Taoism. Buddhism only talks about destined people and fate. Abbot, what are you..." Du Kang looked at the abbot with strange eyes, "Double agent?"
"..." The kind smile on the abbot's face froze. He had imagined Du Kang's many answers in advance, but he did not expect this one at all. For a moment, he was a little stunned, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh, I understand. Abbot, you must be keeping pace with the times. After mastering Taoism, you want to practice Buddhism. As we all know, the first thing to do to defeat an opponent is to understand the opponent. In this way, you will
You can point out the other party's Buddhist problems during the debate. Abbot, is that what you think?" Du Kang said as if he suddenly realized something.
Abbot: "???"
"...Yes, what I said is absolutely true. This is what Pindao thinks. I didn't expect that I guessed Pindao's plan. I really have a fate with Pindao!" The abbot wanted to bring back the topic. When it came into my own hands, I pulled out "Destiny" again.
But how could Du Kang give him this opportunity? This had been his plan from the beginning, relying on his water character skills necessary for a tentacle monster author to delay the abbot and wait for the opportunity - Du Kang keenly observed that entering The flow of tourists in the main hall is significantly decreasing. I don’t know whether it’s because it’s getting late at night and there are no new tourists coming, or it’s the abbot’s arrangement. Anyway, this is exactly in line with Du Kang’s wishes.
When facing the enemy, it is necessary to take advantage of all the favorable factors, and now the Wusheng Palace is Du Kang's "geographical advantage". The reduction of ordinary people also reduces the possibility of hindering Du Kang. This is called "harmony".
As for "Tianshi", Du Kang actually had a guess in his mind. After confirming that the abbot was a [wicked person] who could make the blade of Qinglong Yanyue Sword vibrate and want to chop, this guess came up because he thought of renting a car here. In the car, the taxi driver once told him about the "haunting" and murders nearby, as well as the "Wusheng Palace protective maintenance work" that will start tomorrow and will last for who knows how many days... When everything is connected, it seems that a big network has been formed.
If the spiritual energy really revives, Du Kang will never believe that the country will not be prepared at all. The resources that the torrent of state machinery can assemble are unimaginable to ordinary people. Fortunately, in the whole world, this country where he is located The safest, Du Kang never doubted this.
Therefore, you can guess that tomorrow, or today after the Wusheng Palace closes its doors and thanks guests, it will probably be the time for the official people to clear the place and officially take action. The dragnet and the earth net have probably surrounded the place, just waiting for the possible losses to be minimized, and then Fight a beautiful battle of annihilation - at this moment, I arrived at the center of the encirclement and faced the annihilation target.
"This should be considered the right time. If I were not in the center of this encirclement..." Du Kang was a little depressed. Why did he feel like he was rushing over to face the BOSS?
"In that case, I am actually reading some Taoist classics recently, but because of my limited knowledge, I cannot understand the meaning of some of the words in them. Since you, abbot, have a deep knowledge of Taoism, I wonder if you can explain it to me. Confused?"
Du Kang will never forget his plan to hold the abbot back and wait for the opportunity. Now he expects to wait for the officials to take action...if it's too late, he can take action himself.
If possible, Du Kang doesn't want others to know that he can practice. After all, he is a "salted fish" who can only be forced to hang up and practice. What he wants is to live in peace and contentment... but his life will be lost. Under the circumstances, exposure does not matter.
With this idea in mind, Du Kang started to ask before the abbot could find an excuse to avoid it. As writing materials, he had many Taoist classics at home. He used them over and over to memorize some of them, and used them to test the topic in front of him. A "Taoist priest" who has nothing but appearances is more than enough.
The abbot was confused by Du Kang's life-threatening series of questions, and could not find an opportunity to regain his right to speak.
What the two of them didn't know was that not long after Du Kang entered Wusheng Palace, a silent evacuation, disguise, infiltration, and control operation had already begun.
Until now, the entire Wusheng Palace, and even every situation in the main hall of Wusheng Palace, has been under surveillance!
In the command center, the staff responsible for directing the extermination operation looked at the scene in the hall, listened to the exchange between Du Kang and the abbot, and looked at each other.
"Are they... discussing Taoism?"
PS: I originally planned to finish the show-off chapter in one chapter today, but I ended up feeling really sleepy when I finished writing it...Tomorrow, I will definitely write it and finish it tomorrow, I guarantee it will be fun!! (I can’t stay up late anymore, it’s too scary)
